API

GraphicMail's API allows you to seamlessly integrate GraphicMail's functionality into your existing application or website. Think of it as a remote control for GraphicMail. It can be used to build, manage, automate and streamline your email newsletter sending and subscription processes, remotely. It allows programmers to ‘pass’ data and commands to and from GraphicMail ‘behind the scenes’. With the API you could add a ‘receive email update’ check box to your shopping cart, or make your own Flash subscription form to collect new subscribers. But it's not for everyone - you will need to have programming and XML skills to utilize the GraphicMail API.
